Josh Clayton-Felt - Deer in the Headlights Lyrics

I don't know why
With everyone who tries
To leave them self behind
And no one ever listens

What does it take you to
What does it pull you through
I had a friend who knew
But now he has gone missing

And it seems like
All the birds might
Hit the ground right
Before the ocean

And you traded your life
Like a deer in the headlights
They're so beautiful and bright
You just start hoping

The last taxi kiss
With all its emptiness
And now you got your wish
But you know I'm going to miss you.

You say the greats have sailed
They've been hung up and nailed
They leave you pretty pale
Is that what you're taking with you

'Cause it seems like
All the birds might
Hit the ground right
Before the ocean

And you traded your life
Like a deer in the headlights
They're so beautiful and bright
You just start hoping

That you're on your way to somewhere good
If it's so painful to be
Separated from the
Part of you who is free

Why don't you go it
And if you travel alone
You'll find more than your own
When you get there I know

That you will own it
'Cause it seems like
All the birds might
Hit the ground right

Before the ocean
And you traded your life
Like a deer in the headlights
They're so beautiful and bright

You just start hoping
That you're on your way to somewhere good,
That you're on your way to somewhere good
